Look for GALILEO password announcement emails on:
  • "Announce" listserv (for faculty/staff)
    or
  • "Student_All" listserv (for students)
New password announcements are sent at the beginning of the semester or when password changes.
The GCSU Library abides by the statewide GALILEO password regulations, and does not distribute passwords over the phone due to difficulty verifying the caller's identification.

You can access JSTOR and Project MUSE databases from off campus, by logging in to PAWS and choosing the the desired database.

NetLibrary books can be accessed from off campus, but you first must create a NetLibrary account. You can create your account from a computer on any USG campus, or log in to GALILEO using the current password and choose NetLibrary from the database list. You will then be able to access the "Create an Account" link. Then, go back to the listing in the catalog and access the desired book.

The following databases are only available on campus:

  • African American Biographical Database
  • Ancestry Library Edition

While these databases cannot be searched from home, they can be accessed on any University System of Georgia campus.
